    He is a genius, mainly kills rude/asshole people, and says things that can make you think. Dexter (the popular tv show based off the books) is a genius, says things that make you think, and kills murderers. :whistling:

    The Talented Mr. Ripley It was pretty decent, I don't think I'll read any of the sequels though. I was hoping it would be a evil type character that I would like, like Hannibal Lector, Dexter, etc., but I just thought Tom Ripley was a weirdo pretty much the entire book, and I didn't think he...

    Best Western Ever

    Unforgiven is so good. It is definitely my top 3. I'd probably go with The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Unforgiven, and Tombstone, in no particular order. The Proposition sucked by the way.

    Your best books of this year.

    The Coming Of Conan the Cimmerian by Robert Howard was the best "book" I read this year probably. It is a book with a bunch of short stories about Conan. It is actually the first book in a trilogy. Besides, that, I enjoyed all of the Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin. Five books...

    SECOND HAND vs BRAND NEW

    we have a store in tucson, az called Bookmans. It's the most bad ass store ever. thousands of used books, cds, video games, and other stuff. you can sit around in couches and read, or buy it for a nice cheap used price. If you ever come to Tucson, definitely take a hour or two to check out...

    Screening quiz for prospective Borders employees

    i only knew 7. "Thus Spake Zarathustra" 8. "Critique of Pure Reason" because I read them for my philosophy major in college. That's kind of a crazy test I feel like, would people really know all the answers to that without knowing what was on the test before hand? on a side note, I got some...

    Is this the end for books?

    different papers, fonts, covers, and sizes. If I am going to spend a few hours reading a book, I'll usually pay 1-5 bucks extra for a real copy. I mean damn, 5 bucks is less than a meal at McDonalds, I'll be enjoying the book for a few hours at least hopefully. But I must admit, I love free...

    How E-Readers Can Save Reading

    i like real books better than electronic copies, and the prices are usually not enough to sway me one way or another, so I always go for hard copies. I think my kindle looks cool, but I don't know, there is something about a hard copy of a book that I like better. wouldn't it be crazy though...

    First 10 pages or more?

    Sometimes I don't start to get into the book until around 50-100 pages, that's around the usual point I quit a book if I still don't like it around then. If I make it past that mark, I usually finish the book. p.s. it's pretty interesting how most of you give books about 50-100 pages too.

    A Dance With Dragons- George R.R. Martin 4.5/5 The Coming Of CONAN The Cimmerian- Robert E. Howard 5/5 The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins 4.5/5 A Dance with Dragons took a lot of time for some reason, I probably went a week without reading because of it, but it got better as it progressed.

    How do you find the time?

    During college, I only worked part time during the summer (when i felt like it) so I always had a ton of time to read/do anything, and during the school year I usually would have free time some weeks. I took 18-19 units a few semesters and I still had free time during the semester. As long as...
